I am not familar with RF issues relative to LED's. A tyical LED is driven with a DC voltage source. The diode usually will excite (emit light) at around 3vdc-4vdc and perform at peak outut at arround 5 - 18vdc. If the LED is powered by an AC source it will have a built in transformer driver circuit that converts the 120vac line source to 12vdc. This might be where the rf is being generated and if so I have no idea of how to suppress it.
They don't have transformer base power supplies. They use switching power supplies. Hence the problems with RFI generation. All of my Cree bulbs seem to be RFI free. At least from any that I can find in hunting from around 300 khz to over 50Mhz. The Cree bulbs have went thru several iterations and changes in design in a short time. and I haven't needed to buy any lately, so I can't swear that they haven't cheapened the design, but all I have (3 separate designs) are clean.
